For week 9 I pulled a 7 and for week 10 I pulled a 5. I swear it is harder to work with the smaller cards than it is the larger cards lol. I combined weeks 9 and 10 to get rid of 12 items.

For week 8, I pulled a King which means 75 items to purge or a large project.

For week 7, I pulled a Jack which meant 25 items to purge. This week I decided to use the Jack for a project instead of just getting rid of 25 items.

Getting Rid of our Junk Week 3 of 54

I had an interesting response from a reader after last week’s post. The reader loved the idea of clearing the clutter in her own home but didn’t feel that they really had that much stuff and she would struggle with the high cards such as the Kings which would be 100 items. I want toContinue reading “Getting Rid of our Junk Week 3 of 54”

Getting Rid of our Junk Week 2 of 54

It’s already week 2 and I pulled a 4 for this week. A small card means large items need to be hauled out. We have a usable attic in this house and in the past it was my grandfather’s train room. From one side to the other were train tracks and the walls were decoratedContinue reading “Getting Rid of our Junk Week 2 of 54”
